Jewish cemetery at the northern cemetery (former central cemetery) Hildesheim

The Jewish cemetery on the Peiner Landstra;e is located directly at the city's North Cemetery (former Central Cemetery). Created  he was in 1891 and is occupied he since 1896 until today. 

The new creation of a central Begräbnisstätte took place after a decision of the Hildesheim magistrate to close all innerstädtischen Friedhöfe. This decision also affected the old Jewish cemetery at the Teichstra;e.

The new Jewish cemetery is located on the edge of the ‚Zentralfriedhofes‘, On it are über 350 graves as well as a 1891 in neo-Gothic architectural style built mourning hall with a Taharaum. The Jewish part of the cemetery is enclosed by a simple wire mesh fence and is separated from the Christian part. There are two separate entrances to the Jewish part. Another small gate opens both parts.
